Neighborhood Concert: Sean Jones Quartet

Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture

Whether he’s exploring the emotional depths of a ballad or tearing it up in a high-tempo cooker, Jones is one of the most exciting trumpet players on the jazz scene. The former lead trumpet player of Wynton Marsalis’s Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Jones plays the instrument with tremendous expressive power. The critics agree: The All About Jazz website said of his dynamic quartet’s new recording, “At times breathtaking, No Need for Words is an album of exceeding beauty.”
